The Heritage trail will not only serve as linkage or path but also a multi-functioning public area. People will search for the place and come there solely for the purpose to experience the place. The concept is fairly straightforward, sculpting the form by composing small pixel like components while implementing the culture through patterns of the traditional Songket. The overall design aim is to design a public space that looks like one big structure as a whole instead of being a collection of many dispersed street elements. Also to have a structure with bold theme and form. Imagine a building being laid one horizontally on the site.
The idea of creating a structure may be an obstacle on an unpredictable nature of the site, especially the terrain. Thus, we come out with the solution of accepting the idea of combining small elements in becoming one. Other than that, we also want to create a bold, sculptural form with a less complex method. Hence, this is where the puzzle kind of approach starts to develop. This puzzle kind of approach is actually inspired by modular architecture. It is basically done by combining a few modules which carry its specific function. These modules are arranged accordingly on site to fit their purpose. This allows much room for personalization to suit the need of the client if it is ought to be altered.
